At age 13, she changed the spelling of her first name from “Marian” to “Marion” because she thought it would look better on a marquee. Raised in Albert Lea, Minnesota, and San Diego as a teenager, Marion pursued acting in college, and worked at the La Jolla Playhouse afterwards. At age 25, Marion debuted in Forever Female (1953) with Ginger Rogers and William Holden: a star was born.

She worked steadily on the small screen as well, with guest appearances in The Lone Ranger and Perry Mason. You might know her as Mrs. C from Happy Days. And you might know her son, Jim — Jim Meskimen, talented impressionist, actor and @eg presenter.

Register for EG 2020.

30 April - 2 May 2020

Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring you a superb program for EG2020. However, in light of growing and legitimate concerns regarding the rapid spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) which have gutted international events of all sizes, we have made the difficult decision to put EG on hiatus until it is once again deemed safe.


We know how much each of you look forward to EG and we were looking forward to seeing old friends, and welcoming many new ones, but we do need to prioritize the health and safety of our attendees, presenters, and partners, especially those traveling from afar.

We will be in touch in due course with future plans.
